" The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual- for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost". - M. Scott Peck
What might be considered a bad thing to one person, could be a blessing to another. What is good for one, might be bad for the other. Just like there are two sides to a coin, there are two ways to look at life, either bad or good...or a bit of both.
Sometimes, God sends us into the fog so we could grow, sometimes you need to be yelled at to smile about it after...sometimes, just turning your mouth into a smile, can turn a dark second into a bright one for someone else. You know how they say, you should smile at strangers because you never know what that would mean to them. I have taken to saying good morning to everyone I pass in my office building. You would be surprised how shocked they look- but they always respond and their "back to work morning face", turns up into a smile and lifts not only them...but me too.
Some days are not easy, but I know and have learned that, from illness, you learn about health, from lost you learn about love, from betrayal you learn about trust, from failure you learn success, and from anger you learn happiness. I sometimes wish that I could wake up and know all the answers and skip my way through life, that everything would be just as I dreamt or pictured, but if life doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.
If you deem something bad in your life, try to always see a good, don't look back at the past, or too far ahead in the future, just look at today, right now.
Right now, the sun is setting for the day, my tummy is full, I had an amazing work out, my mind is calm, my ears are not ringing, I have my angels around me, I feel loved and protected...and right now, in this moment, life has taken my breath away.
